20 Aug - Rooibos & Green Tea* F1

Decided to give Rooibos another go, this time with starter from my Main Brew instead of the SCOBY hotel.

*label says black tea but I'm 80% sure I used green 🤔

8 Sept - Flavoured

Strawberry Lemon Rose

Raspberry Grapefruit

10 Sept - Bottled

Raspberry Grapefruit turned out really nice - if a tad explosive (again! must be something about these raspberries). But Strawberry Rose was the real winner - rose goes really well with the earthiness of the rooibos.

“Is this tea blend listed under the black teas a black tea? Or is it just an herbal because it has fruit in it?” It’s black??? That’s why it’s on the black tea list???? Herbals are under the herbal header. Congrats on dethroning “I think you switched our teas bc I ordered herbal orange and this is pink and her raspberry rooibos is orange” as the stupidest question I’ve ever gotten

Twisted Teas

I don’t know a lot about tea, only that I usually like it iced and sweet, a casualty of growing up in the south. But I’ve been wanting to learn more about it, especially blends. I found this cool website, Adagio Teas, that have a bunch of fan made fandom blends for a ton of different books, movies, video games, and tv shows (#notsponsored). So I thought I would try my hand at making teas for the Twisted Wonderland cast. I tried to go off vibes, color schemes, and their favorite food. Hopefully my train of thought makes sense. If anyone wants to actually try any of these let me know how they taste.

Today's tea: Celegorm's blend is...better than I expected, since pu erh and rooibos are both teas that I don't like much on their own. The pu erh certainly adds some earthiness to this one, but not too much with the raspberry balancing it out. Probably not going to be one of my favorites, but definitely drinkable!

Today's knit: So, the Maleme Cardigan is nearly dry - except for the sleeves which had to be kind of balanced on top of the rest of the sweater to fit on the drying rack. Until I did this:

Which hopefully won't stretch the sleeves out too terribly.

In the meantime I did the gauge swatch for the Mallorn Shawl. It was a bit harrowing, as I misread the instructions for a special stitch that is supposed to basically bind off at the tip of each leaf rather than leaving a stitch there from the K3tog for the next stitch to grow out of, so I was ending up with too many stitches on the next row and having to adjust what the chart said to do to account for that and still have it look like leaves. But now I (theoretically) know what to do so the shawl itself should go smoother. XD The pattern has you make this swatch and then do WAY more math than you generally end up doing for any pattern that you are not yourself designing, just to calculate how many repeats it will take to make the size shawl you want and how much yarn you will need for that and how many beads, if you're incorporating beads into the leaf-stems as is optional. Having weighted my swatch, though, it turns out that buying yarn by the yardage given at the start of the pattern was not nearly enough. :-( I think I will just start anyway and see how far the three skeins I have actually go, and skip ordering beads for it.

Swatch close-up in yesterday's afternoon light; amazing how many different golds this yarn can adopt depending on the lighting:

Marauders era characters and their favourite teas with little to no explaination:

James: ginger tea with honey (it warms him up after quiditch practices in bad weather)

Sirius: peppermint tea

Remus: strong english breakfast with lots of honey and milk (he's got a sweet tooth but doesn't like the sweetness killing the bitter taste of tea)

Peter: rooibos (it's red)

Lily: oolong (she likes the procedure of preparing it)

Mary: forest fruits tea with raspberry syrup

Marlene: earl grey with lemon (she adds so much lemon juice that anyone who accidently drinks her tea spits it out)

Relulus: jasmine tea (he loves its subtle floral aroma)

Dorcas: green iced tea

Pandora: it changes every month but she always makes her own tea

[softgrungeprophet]

i forgot we owned an ice cream maker, and it turns out the freezer actually has room for the bowl! i also have random samples of loose-leaf tea so—

pics of the actual tea ingredients:

the lemon ginger is just regular storebought tea bags i happen to like to steep in chicken broth (recommended) but might be a nice ice cream so i thought i'd toss it in the options:

peach rooibos:

for the record this shit smells amazing and i am definitely gonna try to make ice cream out of it at some point. my mom made a cup the other day apparently and said it was very good. i don't really drink tea but i love tea-infused baked goods lol which is why i have a bunch of random shit i got from adagio as freebies when buying their tea cookies (RIP, i loved those things, i ate an entire bag in about a day and a half once)

anyway

raspberry creme black tea, also smells very nice:

guessing this has a kind of raspberries and cream flavor? haven't used it for anything so idk.

ginger chamomile cardamom black tea:

this one is a blend i made myself as one of my personal fandom blends and again, have not tried, because i don't actually drink tea unless it's sweet milk tea with boba, but it smells really nice. kind of herbal. would probably be good as masala chai tbh. man you know, i should try making a milk tea out of this some time. i don't have tapioca pearls but eh

vanilla birthday cake black tea:

this is adagio's birthday mix so according to them it's a mix of black tea with vanilla, caramel, and creme flavors, plus rainbow sprinkles.

[leebrontide]

Brain is being bleeguhg tonight so I couldn't do anything that needed it. So I redid the tea flavors based on my MCs from Secondhand Origin Stories, Doll's Eye View, and Names in Their Blood.

I'll add a Martin one when I can figure out what to put on the tin, since I have to upload art. Plus one other character you won't meet till Names in Their Blood comes out. Then I'll have all 6 needed for a fandom box set.

Jamie has bright and refreshing hibiscus and citrus notes in a Ceylon/rooibos tea blend, with a ginger kick

Opal has my best interpretation of a summery cottage garden with notes of rose, cream, raspberry, and cornflowers in a classic black tea mixed with a delicate peony tea.

Yael has a riot of juicy fruit flavors against a complex mix of black tea, green rooibos tea, and pu-erh, with rainbow sprinkles cause fuck it why not.

and Issac has a rich, deep-flavored blend of pu-erh, toasted mate, and black tea, flavored with dark chocolate, hazelnut and caramel, and just a little hint of raspberry leaves to round it out.

[cuppa-and-a-view]

Blue sky and green... redbush?

a stupid walk for my stupid mental health or whatever it is they say.

Cuppa: Lidl green rooibos with cherry and raspberry. Green rooibos? Green red tea? Confusing but it tastes good.

View: the Campsie fells under a spring sky

Snack: Mister Choc Neo mini chocolate bar.

It's a very beautiful spring day, shame my brain declares it to be a sad one. Never mind, this too shall pass.

Spring seems very late this year, probably because Easter was so early. I feel like I missed it somehow. Maybe I'll make roast lamb and some of those little chocolate nest cakes with the mini eggs in them.

One more look at that sky:

[leggeteconme]

I’m recovering from the flu (or something similar) and have zero energy to do anything actually productive or interesting, so here’s what I ate/drank today - exclusively things that wouldn’t hurt my throat 😅

(Rooibos tea with honey, licorice tea with honey, dark chocolate with toffee, milk chocolate with caramel, a raspberry popsicle, lots of white cheddar mac n cheese, Sprite, hazelnut hot cocoa, and white cheddar puffs. I turn into such a child when I’m sick…)
